The New Orleans Saints need help on their defensive line, and the New England Patriots need to find a trade partner for nose tackle Davon Godchaux. Are they a match made in heaven?
The Patriots recently permitted Godchaux to seek a trade as head coach Mike Vrabel looks to overhaul New England's defensive scheme. With Godchaux a run-stuffing, two-gapping nose tackle with little pass-rushing upside, and Vrabel preferring one-gapping D-tackles who can get after the quarterback, a split makes sense.
In a piece published Friday, ESPN's Ben Solak identified the Saints as ideal trade candidates for the 30-year-old Godchaux.
